The inspirational quit-lit memoir from the bestselling author of The Authenticity Project - now with a new afterword reflecting on ten years of being sober

'The best 'quit-lit' on the market' - Reader review
'An excellent book. It will help a lot of people' - Lorraine Kelly

STOP DRINKING. START LIVING.

With a highly successful career in advertising, Clare Pooley never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day, and spending her evenings Googling, 'Am I an alcoholic?'

This is the brave and hilarious story of a year in Clare's life that changes everything. A year that starts with her quitting booze and being given the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. By the end she is booze- and cancer-free, two-stone lighter and with a life that is richer and more rewarding than ever before.

Interwoven with Clare's story are answers to questions like: How do I know if I'm drinking too much? How will I cope at parties? How do I manage cravings? What if my partner still drinks?
